Feature: Expand File Format Support to PPT/PPTX, DOC/DOCX
Description
Currently, the document only accommodates PDF and Notion page formats. To enhance its functionality and versatility, you proposed integrating support for additional file formats:
- PPT/PPTX
- DOC/DOCX
It's the best time to work on this feature as it's part of the roadmap. https://github.com/mfts/papermark/issues/71
Benefits:
- Enhanced User Experience: By accommodating a broader range of file types, users will enjoy greater flexibility and convenience in their interactions with the application.
- Expanded Use Cases: The application will become suitable for a wider range of tasks and projects, attracting a broader audience and fostering increased adoption.
I would like to work on this feature if all sounds good. :)
Additionally, you can share your opinion and requirements if you have to. ;)
Yes that's definitely a good point. A few things to consider: we need to keep the page-by-page analytics even for new file types.
Have you thought about any ways to convert docx/pptx to images (or individual pages)?
I was researching this a while ago and there are a couple of ways but curious to see what you / and the community think.
Converting docx/pptx to an image can be expensive, although we can do that.
What if we use a library to view these files instead of converting them into images?
As long as we can get the individual document pages from the library, so that we cab track the analytics on each page, sure :)
I would like to try both options to see which one performs better and will raise a PR according to it. For sure.
